Abstract

Devices and methods for twisting yarn may twist a strip of material, such as a paper strip, into a yarn, such as a paper yarn. Such devices and methods may involve positioning a pad formed from a roll of the material horizontally in a yarn twisting device, such that the strip of material is unwound and drawn from an outer circumference of the pad, but down through the center of the pad, and subsequently through a rotating yarn twister.
